Love of My Life

She was the love of my life,

We vowed ‘til death do us part,

But that rainy day, my life came to an end,

When she came home and sat beside me and said…

I can’t do this anymore,

I’m selling our home, I’m moving away,

And you need to find, another place to stay…

I sat there in shock, stunned, not knowing what to say.

In the end, I simply whisper, “OK“.

And I let her slip away…

Lost and alone, betrayed by the love of my life,

The one that I thought I would spend the rest of my life with,

Grow old with, hand in hand, side by side, in the autumn of our lives…

But now she’s gone, in the arms of another,

And here I stand, outside in the cold.

Through no fault of my own.

I did not break our vows

But little did I know that till death do us part could refer to someone else

Our son passed away, the grief and despair, were too much to bear.

And in the end, we were simply two lost souls, that suffered alone, and drifted apart…
